When did the western Anatolian grabens begin to develop
Yücel Yılmaz,Ş. Can Genç,Fevzi Gürer,Mustafa Bozcu,Kamil Yılmaz,Zekiye Karacık,Şafak Altunkaynak,Ali Elmas +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, new data have been collected from a mapping project in western Anatolia, which reveal that initially north-south trending graben basins were formed under an east-west extensional regime during Early Miocene times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical and temporal evolution of Cenozoic magmatism in western Turkey: Mantle response to collision, slab break-off, and lithospheric tearing in an orogenic belt
Yildirim Dilek,Şafak Altunkaynak +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that post-collisional magmatism in western Anatolia began in the Eocene, and has occurred in discrete pulses throughout the Cenozoic as it propagated from north to south, producing volcano-plutonic associations with varying chemical compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two contrasting magmatic associations of NW Anatolia and their tectonic significance
TL;DR: In northwestern Anatolia two magmatic episodes are distinguished as mentioned in this paper : the Oligocene-Early Miocene and the Late Miocene-Pliocene, and they are associated with hypabyssal and volcanic rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic Crustal Evolution and Mantle Dynamics of Post-Collisional Magmatism in Western Anatolia
Yildirim Dilek,Şafak Altunkaynak +1 more
TL;DR: The post-collisional magmatism in western Anatolia followed a continental collision event in the Early Eocene, and occurred in discrete pulses that appear to have propagated from north to south over time as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collision-driven slab breakoff magmatism in northwestern Anatolia, Turkey
TL;DR: The suture zone granitoids (SZGs) in the southern belt have ages around 54-48 Ma, are intrusive into blueschist rocks of the IAESZ, and are composed of diorites, quartz diorite, granodiorite and syenite.
